The History of Tea | How One Leaf Conquered the World

Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world—but where did it actually come from? In this documentary, we travel through thousands of years of tea history, from ancient China to the modern world. We explore the legendary beginnings of tea, its journey to Japan and Europe, Britain's growing obsession with tea, the East India Company, tea smuggling, the rise of tea production in India, the Boston Tea Party, and how tea eventually became a global drink. From ancient Chinese legends to Indian chai and Japanese tea ceremonies, the story of tea is also a story of trade, culture, empire, and global history.
